In 1997, an 11th grader disappeared without a trace. No body. No answers. Just rumors.
Now, decades later, one of her closest friends is determined to uncover what really happened.
This is an immersive, slow-burn psychological thriller told through 24 personal letters, mailed twice a month, each one filled with clues: photographs, diary pages, yearbook notes, flyers, and other artifacts from a life interrupted. As each envelope arrives, you’ll uncover secrets, lies, and the truth buried beneath a small town’s perfect facade.

The Story
In the fall of 1997, Mallory Crowe vanished from the small town of Hollow Creek. No body. No goodbyes. Just whispers. Now, twenty-eight years later, the people who knew her best are finally telling the truth—or trying to. Letters start arriving, one by one. Some are written out of guilt. Others out of fear. All of them are pieces of a puzzle no one has been able to solve. The more you read, the more you’ll realize: Mallory didn’t run away. Someone made her disappear. And someone still doesn’t want you to find out why or how.
Experience a New Way to Get Lost in a Psychological Thriller
No more boring mail and bills! Look forward to going to your mailbox again!
This is storytelling reimagined—tactile, emotional, and totally unforgettable.
Instead of reading a story on a screen or in a book, you’ll feel it unfold through real letters written by the people who lived it. With every envelope, you're not just a reader—you’re part of the investigation. Each envelope brings you deeper into the story—one clue, one secret, one revelation at a time.
It’s immersive. Giftable. And haunting in all the right ways.
There’s no login. No app.
Just you, the letters, and what you uncover.
The story and all of the letters are written by Award-Winning and USA Today Bestselling thriller author Kate Gable, who specializes in psychological suspense layered with twists, emotion, and character depth.
